Abstract
The defensive system of the Bosporan city of Kyta was studied practically throughout all field seasons, from 1972 to 2012. The investigated objects were published, which allowed the author to draw a conclusion about the role of Kyta as a fortified city. In the field seasons 2016–2017. in the central coastal part of the settlement, in the eastern section of excavation I, another small section of the fortress wall and tower of the late antique period was discovered. Its peculiarity is that it was erected not on the already known external borders of the city, but inside it and protects only a small seaside area. The time of the construction of the tower and the wall is determined by the find under the foundation of the northern wall of the tower (masonry 106) of the stater Radamsad 614 g. b.e. (317–318 AD). This is the first line of fortifications built at such a late time in Kyta.
